Kombucha used as a taco marinade? Sounds just crazy enough to work! These summery battered fish tacos are light, salty, spicy and zesty! We love them with Nexba Elderflower & Lemon Kombucha.
To really turn this meal into a fiesta, add a generous squeeze of lime, freshly diced chilis and Mango Salsa. Bonus points if you make your own Tartar Sauce and Guacamole!

Cooking
1. Firstly, prepare the kombucha batter. Add flour, salt, pepper, paprika and egg to a large, shallow bowl, whisk to combine. Gradually add the kombucha whilst continually whisking. Set aside for 10-15 minutes.
2. To prepare the cream sauce, combine all ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl. Mix well and set aside. This sauce keeps in the fridge for 4-5 days.
3. Now for the fish! Rinse fish fillets under cold water and pat dry. Season both sides of the fish with salt and pepper.
4. Place oil in a large fry pan (approx. 3 cm depth of oil). Heat the oil until it starts to sizzle.
5. In a separate shallow bowl, add the flour, salt and pepper. Coat fish pieces in the flour. Then dip the fish fillets into the kombucha batter, ensuring both sides are well coated. Repeat this process for all fish fillets.
6. Place in the fry pan whilst oil is sizzling and fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden and crispy.
7. Line a plate with paper towels and transfer the fish fillets to drain excess oil.
8. Arrange tortillas flat and add fish, cream sauce, cabbage, chilli, mango salsa and lemon wedges.
